Why a yacht survey
is important in Slovenia

Whether you have your eye on a well-maintained motorboat in Marina Portorož or a classic sailing yacht in the traditional shipyard town of Izola: As certified yacht surveyors in Slovenia, we offer you the necessary security on site.

The Slovenian used boat market is attractive – many yachts change hands here, often internationally. A professional yacht appraisal protects you against this:

  • Hidden defects and construction damage
  • Osmosis, delamination or structural problems
  • Unrealistic purchase prices
  • Unwanted surprises with insurance or resale later on

Our areas of service in Slovenia

We are regularly on duty in all major nautical centers in Slovenia and carry out surveys directly on site in marinas, shipyards and winter storage facilities.

Our most common areas of application include

  • Marina Portorož (Lucija) – Slovenia’s largest marina with an international clientele
  • Marina Izola – central location for used boats and service companies
  • Marina Koper – an important port for motor and sailing yachts
  • Marina Piran – historic location with charter and owner boats

Thanks to our branch in Rijeka, all marinas in Slovenia are easily accessible for us and appointments are therefore also available at relatively short notice.

Satisfied Customers

“My wife and I commissioned Mr. Ingolf Schneider to prepare a purchase appraisal for a high-quality sailboat in the Izola Marina.

After just a short time, his trained eye and keen nose detected considerable damage in the keel area. A defect that would not have been visible to us with the naked eye.

We are very grateful to Mr. Schneider for this discovery, as it not only saved us from a high financial loss, but possibly also from a serious threat to our lives.”

It’s so easy to get your personal yacht appraisal in Slovenia:

  3. After the on-site inspection, you will receive your yacht appraisal within 3 working days.

Further information and a checklist for your optimal preparation can be found here: “Yacht appraisal procedure”

As our representative office is only a good hour away from Izola or Koper, we can usually organize viewing appointments in all Slovenian marinas within a few working days.

In individual cases, however, it may take longer, as we are also dependent on the availability of crane appointments for the inspection of the underwater hull.

Most Slovenian marinas and shipyards have excellent lifting facilities and sufficient capacity for quick scheduling.

In order to avoid delays, however, it should be ensured that the boat or yacht is planned in advance and that cleaning of the UW vessel is also booked when the crane is reserved.

But don’t worry! Together with our offer you will receive a comprehensive checklist for your optimal preparation.

As standard, our expert reports are prepared in German or English.

However, we are also happy to provide a Slovenian translation for a small fee.
